AntennaCAT: Automated antenna design with machine learning-assisted optimization [Open Source]
As antenna design research progresses into more advanced techniques, recurrent manual editing of CAD models is one of the last, laborious obstacles for fully automated optimization. In this article we present AntennaCAT (Antenna Calculation and Autotuning Tool), which is designed to lower the barrier to entry for advanced antenna design and optimization while increasing the repeatability of the experimental process. AntennaCAT is open source software that automates the design, simulation, and optimization processes. It is compatible with multiple electromagnetic (EM) simulation software suites, including HFSS, CST, and FEKO, and includes integrated optimizers popular for multiparameter antenna design problems. Discussed are major software features for design, data collection and interpretation for machine learning (ML), internal simulation-integrated optimizers and their ML assisted hyperparameter tuning, and significance for replication studies.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
